TO DIANE DE POITIERS, by CLEMENT MAROT Poem Explanation Poet's Biography First Line: Farewell! Since vain is all my care Last Line: One far less fond, perchance, had won ye! Subject(s): Diane De Poitiers (1499-1566); Disappointment; Grief; Love; Sorrow; Sadness | |||
Farewell! since vain is all my care, Far, in some desert rude, I'll hide my weakness, my despair: And, 'midst my solitude, I'll pray, that, should another move thee, He may as fondly, truly love thee.

Your rays have fallen but coldly on me: One far less fond, perchance, had won ye! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONOMA FIRE by JANE HIRSHFIELD AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARDS by JOHN HOLLANDER WHAT GREAT GRIEF HAS MADE THE EMPRESS MUTE by JUNE JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 19 by JAMES JOYCE DIRGE AT THE END OF THE WOODS by LEONIE ADAMS THE POSY RING by CLEMENT MAROT |
